New Co-Ed Service Fraternity at the University of Redlands
The University of Redlands' Community Service Learning Office welcomes Alpha Phi Omega (APO) to campus.   Alpha Phi Omega is the nation's oldest collegiate service fraternity and the nation's largest collegiate fraternity overall.  APO comes with the hope that many of the other service organizations that have left campus will make a comeback.  The members of this organization abide by three cardinal principles: Leadership, Friendship, and Service.  Look for Alpha Phi Omega to bring new, old, and fun service programs based on the local needs of the community.  On-Campus Service Clubs & Organizations

100 Years, 100 Wishes
In celebration of the University of Redlands' Centennial, the Community Service Learning Office sponsored a campus-wide service campaign entitled "100 Years, 100 Wishes."  This service campaign entailed 100 wishes (or service project ideas) which the University community would fulfill.  Half of the list consisted of general wishes dealing with children, the elderly, fundraisers, and other miscellaneous projects.  The other half of the  list consisted of wishes that were made by non-profit organizations in the Redlands area.  The University of Redlands' community worked very hard to fulfill all of the wishes during the Centennial year.  One of the big milestones of the campaign was reaching 100,000 community service hours.  Congratulations and thank-you's go out to everyone who participated!
